Summary[edit]

Description

Built 1935. Flew with 502sqn between March 1936 and April 1937. It then moved to RAF Cranwell to be operated by the Electrical and Wireless school, training Wireless Operators. In November 1940 it was withdrawn from flying and became a technical training airframe. Three Wallace airframes were in use but were eventually put out to grass and stored, certainly by 1945. In 1965 the three fuselages were recovered by the fledgling Newark Air Museum. The most complete (K6035) was rebuilt using parts of the other two. In 1977 the remains were loaned to the RAF Museum and the project moved to Henlow where it was stored. It was restored by SkySport, using as much original material as possible, and went on display at Hendon in March 1993. It is the only remaining example and is currently on display in the Historic Main Hangars. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
